Printed editions amended by Sir Arthur

The Bliss Archive has all the copies of printed editions owned by Sir Arthur and bequested to the Library by Lady Bliss. These are kept together in the Library in a series of boxes under the shelf mark MRS.30.1-243. Though he was a careful proof reader, some errors are to be found in the published editions. He marked up his own copies with corrections, clarifications and changes of expression and speed. Amendments that have been incorporated into later editions have not always been included, and where they are have been put in italics.

The list of amendments has been divided into three web pages, covering the years 1920-1939, 1940-1953, and 1955-1975.
